Some call this pasta dish grown up mac 'n' cheese; we just call it delicious. Tender spaghetti is tossed in a luscious sauce that comes together with just 3 ingredients; butter, pepper, and grated Parmesan.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Once the water starts to boil, add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti through a colander.
- Melt the butter in a medium pan over medium heat. Add the pepper and cook, stirring constantly, until aromatic, about 30 seconds.
- Add the spaghetti to the butter and use tongs to toss to coat. Add the Parmesan and 1 tablespoon of reserved pasta water and quickly toss to combine, adding more pasta water until the sauce becomes just creamy and clings to the noodles, about 1 minute.
- Remove the pan from the heat. Serve topped with more freshly ground black pepper and flaky sea salt.
- Enjoy!
